Title: Itch.io marketplace now requires asset creators to disclose their use
of generative AI

Creators who sell assets on itch.io will now have to be a lot more upfront
about using generative AI. The marketplace for independent digital creators
has introduced a new rule that requires users to label their projects if they
were produced using generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Midjourney.
Users will see an AI generation disclosure box when they upload their
projects. If they confirm that their project contains AI-generated output,
they'll be required to indicate what kinds of content were made with
generative AI, whether they're graphics, sounds, text and dialogue or code.

If they have a public asset page, they'll see a dialog box when they access
their dashboard, making it easy to bulk tag their projects. They'll be able
to select multiple projects from their list and then indicate whether they
contain AI-generated content or not. All assets with AI output will get the
"AI Generated" tag, while those without will be tagged as "No AI." Each
content type will have its own sub-tag, as well.

itch.io requires all assets that used AI in any way, even if the creator had
hand-edited it, to be tagged as AI Generated. And if it finds any untagged
work that used artificial intelligence tool, it will make that asset
ineligible for indexing so that potential buyers could no longer find it.
However, it's unclear what measures the marketplace is taking to police its
website. While itch.io's new policy may not be enough for those who'd rather
ban AI content altogether, the tags will allow buyers who don't want AI
assets in their work to filter them out.
